As information and communication networks are highly interconnected with the power grid, cyber security of the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system, or energy management system (EMS), has become a critical issue in the electric power sector. Cyber security of the SCADA/EMS system can be improved by deploying the trust systems to monitor network traffic for malicious attacks. However, cyber attacks could still be successful if attackers possess sufficient offensive resources. By exploiting vulnerabilities of cyber components, attackers are able to intrude into the SCADA/EMS system and send fabricated commands to local field devices. The reliability of the power system could thus be impacted by various cyber attacks. Quantitative assessment of the cyber attack and defense on the SCADA/EMS system are needed in cyber security evaluation approaches. For instance, the deployment and runtime cost due to the defensive trust systems will affect the original function of the power system without careful planning and design. Therefore, optimization of static trust system placement and routes between nodes, as well as self-recovery mechanisms, should be considered in the SCADA/ EMS network. Furthermore, vulnerability evaluation of the cyber attacks on the power system should be analyzed. A number of methods are used to characterize the attack patterns, and estimate frequencies of the cyber attack that may occur on the SCADA/EMS system. Examples include Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), Attack Graph, and Mean Time-to-Compromise (MTTC). Meanwhile, probabilistic methods used for reliability evaluation, such as Monte Carlo simulation (MCS), should be improved by considering impacts of cyber attacks on the power system. This dissertation is focused on optimizing both the static placement of the trust nodes and the dynamic routing of communicating nodes in the SCADA/EMS system, as well as investigating the reliability impact of the power system considering probabilities of successful cyber attacks on the SCADA/EMS system. Contributions of this dissertation include optimization of the trust system placement in the SCADA/EMS system using the set packing algorithm, the least cost route searching with the trust node aware optimal routing algorithm, the use of Bayesian attack graph and MTTC models to demonstrate probabilities of successful cyber attacks, modeling of normal and penetration attacks against the intrusion tolerant system with a modified semi-Markov process (SMP) model, estimation of MTTCs on the control center and substations considering the optimal allocation of offensive and defensive resources, power system reliability analysis incorporating cyber attacks in the integrated wind farm SCADA/EMS system architecture, and estimation of reliability indices in IEEE reliability test systems considering cyber attacks on SCADA/EMS system.

Electric power is a critical infrastructure that is vital to the U.S. economy and national security. Today, the nation's electric power infrastructure is threatened by malicious attacks, accidents, and failures, as well as disruptive natural events. As the electric grid evolves and becomes increasingly interdependent with other critical infrastructures, the nation is challenged to defend against these threats and to advance grid capabilities with reliable defenses. On November 1, 2019, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a workshop to gather diverse perspectives on current and future threats to the electric power system, activities that the subsector is pursuing to defend itself, and how this work may evolve over the coming decades. This publications summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

The integration of computing and communication capabilities with the power grid has led to numerous vulnerabilities in the Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs). This cyber security threat can significantly impact the physical infrastructure, economy, and society. In traditional Information Technology (IT) environments, there are already abundant attack cases demonstrating that unauthorized users have the capability to access and manipulate sensitive data from a protected network domain. Electric power grids have also heavily adopted IT to perform real-time control, monitoring, and maintenance tasks. In both 2015 and 2016, two sophisticated cyber attack events targeted Ukrainian's power grid, causing wide area power outages. It highlights the importance of investment in cyber security against intruders. In order to address the cyber security issues for today's communication technologies, a reliable cyber defense system has become an essential element for the power grids. This dissertation presents research results of the CPS security studies for different power system sections, including Substation Automation System (SAS) and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). To understand the vulnerabilities of communication systems and interactions between cyber and physical systems, a survey of the state-of-the-art on smart grid technologies has been conducted. It considers the existing cyber vulnerabilities in power grids and establishes solutions against the cyber attacks. However, the existing cyber protection systems can not cover all sections of a smart grid by one defense measure. This study proposes two Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) to enhance the cyber security for SAS and AMI. In order to analyze the impact of cyber attacks and test the performance of the proposed IDSs, a Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) testbed has been developed to provide a co-simulation environment between cyber and physical systems.

This book focuses on the combined cyber and physical security issues in advanced electric smart grids. Existing standards are compared with classical results and the security and privacy principles of current practice are illustrated. The book paints a way for future development of advanced smart grids that operated in a peer-to-peer fashion, thus requiring a different security model. Future defenses are proposed that include information flow analysis and attestation systems that rely on fundamental physical properties of the smart grid system.

This textbook provides an introduction to probabilistic reliability analysis of power systems. It discusses a range of probabilistic methods used in reliability modelling of power system components, small systems and large systems. It also presents the benefits of probabilistic methods for modelling renewable energy sources. The textbook describes real-life studies, discussing practical examples and providing interesting problems, teaching students the methods in a thorough and hands-on way. The textbook has chapters dedicated to reliability models for components (reliability functions, component life cycle, two-state Markov model, stress-strength model), small systems (reliability networks, Markov models, fault/event tree analysis) and large systems (generation adequacy, state enumeration, Monte-Carlo simulation). Moreover, it contains chapters about probabilistic optimal power flow, the reliability of underground cables and cyber-physical power systems. After reading this book, engineering students will be able to apply various methods to model the reliability of power system components, smaller and larger systems. The textbook will be accessible to power engineering students, as well as students from mathematics, computer science, physics, mechanical engineering, policy & management, and will allow them to apply reliability analysis methods to their own areas of expertise.
